Slang & Jargon in Circulation

Slang moves quietly through conversations, picking up meaning as it goes. It passes from person to person, screen to screen, rarely stopping long enough to be defined. By the time a word feels familiar, it has already lived a life.

Some terms feel effortless when spoken. Others sound strange until you hear them used the right way, in the right moment. That is where slang lives. Not in definitions, but in timing, tone, and shared understanding.
